At Home

In her son Henry’s bedroom, Dallas interior designer Janet Gridley chose to cover up the dreary walls with four giant bright blue and green map murals that she purchased at McMaps.com. Getting around all the windows and doors would have been tricky so she hired a professional, but you can also buy something called “smart stick” which is re-positionable and better for a DIY effort. “I like the map because it will be just as right when Henry is older and studying geo politics,” she says. “The room is a riot of color and pattern, but it all ties together because it started with this strong visual base.” Explore another one of Gridley’s amazing kids rooms here.
